One of the shortcomings of Haithcock’s books is that they are not indexed and the pages are not numbered. It appears that the census records start at the 1880’s and end at 1930. These are records from ancestry.com. To me, it is the additional compiled information that gives the book it’s worth such as the timeline of the Saponi and sister tribes from 1523 to 1965 or the “History of the Saponi Tribe and the Saponi Nation”.

Hi Cornstalk,
I finally found you again. When I first read what you had written, I hadn’t even thought that Mathew Corn and his wife, Molly were NA even though my maternal grandmother’s maiden name is Corn who lived in various places of VA, NC, SC, and GA, and she had told us we had NA ancestry. I wasn’t able to go further than Mathew and his wife and I wasn’t able to find grandma’s ancestry listed on any NA rolls that I knew about. I’m confused and not sure what to think. Then, I dug out the records my mom had handed down to me that she kept over the years, on the Corn family and it wasn’t John Adam Corn as the one I had thought, but it was Mathew Corn who is the father of John Peter Corn. But now, how would I find out which one is correct. I seem to run into conflicting opinions of who John Peter Corn’s father is. On other posts, I had erroneously listed John Adams Corn as father of John Peter Corn and I do apologize for that because I had not gone back to the information my mother handed down to me and double checked. Where can I find the Civil War Pension applications you had alluded to. Also, as a side note, it is interesting you mentioned the “dark auburn” hair. That’s the natural color of my hair. Finally, I can show my siblings (they are blond or red heads) that I wasn’t adopted (it was something they teased me about constantly), and I was always able to go and be in the sunshine and not burn, just tanned. Always wondered why, is it a Native American trait? Just asking. My father is of Scottish ancestry and as far as I know I don’t have any NA on my paternal side. And, another side note, I knew the Corn’s worked among the Indians…..didn’t make the connection that they were NA themselves like grandma said though.
Hello. My name is Jamilla Banks, daughter of Betty Haithcock-Banks, who was the daughter of Maurice I. and Irma E (Newsome) Haithcock of Lima, Ohio. I remember my uncle Bobby had a copy of a book about the Haithcock family written by Richard. I’d like to know if there are any copies of that book available for purchase. My sister and I decided to research our family on our mother’s side and realized a lot of the work has been done by Richard! I am curious because all the stories told to me as a child about my Indian heritage all came from my grandmother, whose mother was of Indian decent and whose maiden name was Stewart (I think). I look at the surnames listed everywhere and I see names from both my grandmother’s and grandfather’s sides (Byrd, Stewart, and Moss). Please let me know if the book is available for purchase. I can be reached at JBanks_05@yahoo.com Thanks in advance for any help or information anyone can give!
Did you try the contacting info on the first post, first page of this thread? Let me know if you don’t get through and I’ll track down better info.
FYI I have a copy of another Haithcock book not among the six volumes mentioned here:
Haithcok Families of Ohio and the Allied Families from North Carolina – revised second edition.
If anyone wants info from this book I’m happy to oblige.
I just heard from Richard. His present phone # is 937-532-4676. He’d love to hear from anyone at Saponitown.
Thanks Linda! I just spoke to Richard and I’m getting Volume 1. FYI – Current price is $110 including shipping. The PO box address in this thread is still accurate.
I’ve been talking to Rick Haithcock more lately. His research has really been helping me connect the dots. I ordered another volume of his work. To me I don’t look at it so much as buying a book, more as supporting his research. Having gotten to the stage myself where I have invested so much time/energy/money into this, I really understand the value of his work. The conversations I’ve had with him have been invaluable. And even with all that has been digitized these days, there is still a lot of obscure historical info I would not be able to access easily on my own – especially from local sources in Southwest Ohio.
